End of Louis XIV set 7/10Partial setlist: Finding Out True Love Is BlindNot bad, for the little bit that I heard.

They Might Be Giants 6/10Complete setlist: Why Does The Sun Shine?, Fingertips, Birdhouse In Your Soul, Boss Of Me, Clap Your Hands, Ana Ng, Alphabet Of Nations, Particle Man, Istanbul (Not Constantinople)I think the nerd factor was of great comic value to the group I was with. It was nice to hear the old classics though.

Interpol 8/10Partial setlist: Slow Hands, NARC, Say Hello to the Angels, Evil (I forget the order, too bad they didn't play C'mere)Interpol strutted their stuff pretty well. They sound clean and stoic live, like they do on their albums.

(lunch)

Echo and the Bunnymen 0/10Ian McCulloch lost his voice. Boooo.

Garbage 9/10Partial setlist: Stupid Girl, Vow, Bleed Like Me, Paranoid, Push It, Only Happy When It RainsShirley Manson was sultry and incredibly energetic. She really charged up the crowd with new and old tunes after the EatB disappointment.

End of Billy Idol set 8/10Partial setlist: Rebel Yell, Scream, Flesh For Fantasy, Mony MonyOooold school, but he can still rock.

(rain delay, impromptu slip and slide using large plastic signs)

Coldplay 10/10Partial setlist: Yellow, Clocks, In My PlaceChris Martin was charismatic, acknowledging the crowd and praising the other HFStival acts. He played an inspired, heartfelt set.

Foo Fighters 10/10Full setlist: All My Life, Learn to Fly, My Hero, Times Like These, The Last Song, Stacked Actors (with retro jam session featuring Grohl on a Les Paul and the guitarist on a Rickebacker, I think; then, he walked into the crowd, to the chagrin of security), Monkey Wrench, Everlong (beautiful way to end the night)Too bad my digital camera ran out of f&*in batteries. I was only able to snap a couple of photos, and they turned out not so hot. Phew, I'm exhausted.
